if my current main racket weighs 97g and has a BP of 293 what sort of specs should be looking for in a unstrung un gripped T2?

Do you mean the total weight of your racket with string and added overgrip? If modified the grip, how many overgrips and how high up did you grip it? to the start of the cone? End of the cone? To the shaft? I assume one overgrip over the existing grip to the start of the cone.

If so, then you would need about an 87.0g swing weight, BP295 racket. I think I have a few like that.

Update: after lots of testing, on the T2, we have listed the "swing weight" rather than the actual weight on the label of each T2 racket. The reason for this is because the racket plays about 1.0g to 1.5g heavier than the stated weight.

Panda should have done this with the Ultra as well but did not. Will do so in the future. Panda wants to keep things as consistent as possible so everyone has a good baseline.

In the future, we will list the actual weight and approximate swing weight for all rackets. Yes, more work but if we can provide better service, we'll do it.

Yup weight with string and grip. With original grip and one overgrip.

I usually grip it to ermm end of the cone? The part just bellow where they put the PBSI sticker and the U and G label on yonex rackets. Is that correct?

Yes, exactly, which is why I need an image of a blank frame to put my design on.

However it's probably disingenuous of me to expect Sketchy to provide a template for this young upstart to use when I'm posturing like I can do a better design than he can (almost certainly not!)

Aiya, I'll have a go myself whenever I get the chance.

Hey Mike, do what I did: get the picture of a Yonex racket from the stringing instructions page (it's a blank frame) and erase the strings from it in Paint or similar - didn't take too long and I was left with a blank frame to play with - I've enclosed my effort, but I'm sure you can do better (say, by changing the grey to white):

Hey Panda!
So what range of BPs and weights of the T2 are you sending off to Canada? :O
